Thai Street Food, Restaurants, and Recipes | Eating Thai Food
Satisfy yourself with the best Thai street food!
During November of last year, I had a freelance assignment to eat at some of Bangkok’s best halal restaurants, try a bunch of food, take photos, and write about them. I was really excited about the opportunity for this freelance job, and I was able to discover quite a few gems, serving both Thai and […]
Gai Yang Jirapan (ไก่ย่างจีระพันธ์), in Bangkok, is famous for their southern Thai style grilled chicken (gai yang ไก่ย่าง). What’s the difference between the regular Bangkok Thai gai yang recipe, like they might serve at Sabai Jai Gai Yang? That lies mainly with the use of kamin (ขมิ้น), fresh turmeric root, which is commonly associated with southern […]
Watch it on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/m8U6pFIgzSI A few weeks ago I posted an article about Yusup Pochana, an outstanding Thai halal restaurant. Nearly everything you could possibly order here is delicious, especially all forms of khao mok, and the goat curry. Enjoy this video about Thai halal food!
Despite the diversity of restaurants in Bangkok, the amount of other southeast Asian restaurants, can just about be counted on two hands. There are a couple Malaysian restaurants, one Filipino restaurant, and just a few Indonesian restaurants. Opening just at the beginning of 2013, Rasa Khas is a welcome addition to the nearly non-existent Indonesian […]
I’m really not joking… The grill at Bangkok’s “Dee Moo Satay” (ตี๋หมูสะเต๊ะ), is quite honestly the longest grill I’ve ever seen in my life, and it’s probably longer than the bus you took to school when you were a kid. The photo above shows less than half of the full grill, it’s that long! When […]
My mouth is beginning to water even as I write this post about Yusup Pochana (ยูซุปโภชนา). You better believe it… the food was that good! This famous northern Bangkok Thai Muslim restaurant will serve you a meal you won’t forget, and a few of their dishes left me in tears of joy. The restaurant is […]
I was invited into the newly opened Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen, and being a lover of Japanese Ramen, I couldn’t resist. Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen is originally from Osaka, and they recently opened their first branch in Bangkok. Walking into the restaurant, you feel like you’re in Japan – the staff greets you in Japanese – and […]
Roast duck is commonly found throughout Bangkok, especially in the heavily Chinese influenced areas of town like Yaowarat (video) and Bangrak. Prachak Pet Yang (ร้านประจักษ์เป็ดย่าง) is one of the most famous of the selection, a legendary Cantonese style duck restaurant located right along Charoen Krung road, opposite Robinson’s department store. I’ve walked past this restaurant countless times, […]
I walked into Krua Aroy Aroy (ครัวอร๊อยอร่อย) with high expectations… It’s a very well known Bangkok local restaurant, in a very prime location, just south of downtown Silom, and directly across the Soi from Sri Maha Mariamman Hindu Temple (Wat Khaek). The restaurant has practically been written up in every major media outlet. Finally I was […]
The glitz, glamour, and shiny metal things, makes you feel more like you’re in a casino than a Bangkok restaurant. And with all the casing passing through the business, it might not be so different from a casino anyway. Let me make the birds nest story short for you: Little birds, tiny swiftlets to be […]
